CWFEN RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR \u2018WHISPERS\u2019, A LIVE DOCUMENT OF THE BAND\u2019S EXTENSIVE TOURING IN 2026 TO PROMOTE THE ACCLAIMED DEBUT ALBUM, SORROWS<\/b><\/p>\n A Must-Hear for Fans of Chelsea Wolfe, King Woman, Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy<\/p>\n What happens when the release of a band\u2019s debut exceeds their wildest dreams of what\u2019s possible? 12 months ago, Cwfen (pronounced \u2018Coven\u2019) released their first album, Sorrows, which emerged from attempts to demo some material at a friend\u2019s studio in a remote Scottish farmhouse. The results received unexpected and widespread acclaim, enjoying glowing reviews in the heavy music press (Metal Hammer, Kerrang!) and featuring in album of the year lists at the close of 2025.<\/p>\n Fast forward 12 months and the band have toured extensively with Paradise Lost and Faetooth, and played countless festival stages, crushing audiences and gaining new fans with consistently powerful performances of the Sorrows material.<\/p>\n This journey is captured beautifully in the form of a new video for the song \u2018Whispers\u2019, perhaps the most gut-wrenching and dynamic track from the band\u2019s debut. Juxtaposing the stunning landscapes of northern Europe in winter shot from Cwfen\u2019s tour van, with footage of the band\u2019s dynamic live performances across Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland, the Whispers video shows the band doing exactly what they love \u2013 presenting their songs to wrapt audiences while they reach new musical and emotional heights. Shot and edited by Amy Greenbank, the video shows the band at their very best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The release of the Whispers video is accompanied by specially designed \u2018Whispers\u2019 merchandise, which comes with previously unheard live and studio recordings of the song.<\/p>\n \u2018Hell, they were great before. Now they\u2019re on another level.\u2019 Out of Rage, review of Cwfen at Desertfest 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lead vocalist and guitarist Agnes Alder said:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s taken a while to feel comfortable releasing Whispers as its own thing. The song itself, lyrically, came from a very personal place, in contrast to the broader themes elsewhere on the record. This, for me, is a song that cuts right to the bone; it might not be too obvious in the lyrics themselves, but it\u2019s taken a year of seeing the fans respond to it, watching it become one of their favourites, to really have the courage and the confidence to give it some of the love it deserves.<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n The screams weren\u2019t planned. They weren\u2019t on the first version, but when we went back into the studio after a few weeks, that\u2019s what had to come out, so what you hear in this song is the depth of that feeling. It\u2019s one of the most cathartic, tender, and ultimately visceral songs on the album, and deciding to release it now feels like the acceptance of a direction in my songwriting that I feel ready to explore on the next record.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n We were so lucky that our Creative Scotland funding allowed us to take this tour and to bring Amy Greenbank with us. We got to work with an incredibly talented videographer, and we made a friend for life. She\u2019s someone who will always be part of the Cwfen family. We made incredible memories on this tour and it\u2019s so lovely to see some of them here.\u2019\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Guitarist Guy DeNuit had this to say:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n \u201cFollowing an unexpectedly busy and wonderful 12 months since the release of Sorrows, we\u2019re proud to share our new video for \u2018Whispers\u2019. This song has become a live favourite with the band and audiences, and we are so fortunate to have had this documented and beautifully presented by our videographer and dear friend, Amy Greenbank.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Wed 10th June \u2013 Download Festival, Donington, UK<\/p>\n Sat 6th July \u2013 Resurrection Fest, Galacia, Spain<\/p>\n Sun 16th Aug \u2013 Dynamo Metalfest, Eindhoven, Netherlands<\/p>\n Sun 15th Nov \u2013 Core Festival, Glasgow, Scotland<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
